I am using ckeditor to format some data inside my textarea

<textarea id="editorAbout" rows="70" cols="80" name="editorAbout"></textarea>

Now when i try to post this data using jQuery.ajax like this,

var about=escape( $("#editorAbout").text());
            $.ajax({
             type: "POST",
             url: "../Allcammand.aspx?cmd=EditAboutCompany&about="+about,
             type:"post",
                async: false ,
                   success: function(response){                                       

                    },
                    error:function(xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError){alert(xhr.responseText); }
            });

I get the error

HTTP Error 414. The request URL is too long.

I am getting the error here: http://iranfairco.com/example/errorLongUrl.aspx
Try clicking on the Edit Text button at the bottom left of that page.

Why is this happening? How can I solve it?

For me, changing type:"get" to type:"post" worked, as get reveals all queries and hence make it bigger url.
Just change type from get to post.
This should help. :)

A bit late to the party, but I got this 414, while using POST. It turned out is was a max path length in windows causing this error. I was uploading a file, and the actual request length was just fine (using post). But when trying to save the file, it exceeded the default 260 char limit in windows. This then resulted in the 414, which seems odd. I would just expect a 501. I would think 414 is about the request, and not the server handling.
